<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Next week I'm going to regulate a nice =
little
Samick console piano. The last time I tuned it (our =
first
appointment), I noticed and mentioned to the owner that the piano could =
really
use some attention. The owner's son is a music major and
she reported he had never liked the touch of the piano. I'm =
not sure
if they bought it new or used, but the regulation is pretty bad. =
When I
was there I didn't think to check the firmness of the punchings (this is =
the
only Samick I've ever worked on, can you believe it?). =
<Anyway> I
was wondering if anyone had changed out the front rail punchings using =
Crescendo
(Wurzen) punchings on a vertical piano? I guess I'll =
experiment to
see what improvement can be had in an effort to eke out a bit more
performance. </FONT></DIV>
